We kick off Season 2 with a look at Apple's "Get a Mac," the episodic comedy series that ran from 2006 to 2009, with Justin Long as a personified Macintosh and John Hodgman as a PC. We revisit its entire history, from the brutal eight-month search for the idea to the campaign's demise 93 spots later—just as it was named Adweek's campaign of the decade. Presented by GSTV.

Skittles | Blank the Rainbow
This week we explore one of advertising's strangest and most delightful confections: the "Blank the Rainbow" campaign for Skittles. We look at how a product truth, combined with a cultural insight about millennial teens, led to a string of beloved, absurdist ads in the mid-2000s, and how the brand revived that spirit in two subversive Super Bowl stunts a decade later. Presented by GSTV.
